Humourous music for my waterbirth

[ThinkIveBeenHacked]

Chatting with a friend about putting together some music to play during my (hopefully) waterbirth we started thinking of songs that are....well....themed. Mainly to try and make the Midwife go "wtf" than to actually play all the way through.

So far we have
Under the Sea
The Celine song from Titanic
Born Slippy

I need more! Help please!

I haven't RTFT, but have we had 'deliver us' from Prince Egypt. I think it pretty much sums up labour!

With the salt of my sweat on my brow
Elohim, God on high
Can you hear your people cry:
Help us now
This dark hour...

Deliver us
Hear our call
Deliver us
Lord of all
Remember us, here in this burning sand
Deliver us
There's a land you promised us
Deliver us to the promised land...

Prince of Egypt - duh

Do you know if you're having a girl?

There She Goes by The Las for the final push - or for when your waters break?

Ace of base - All that she wants ( is another baby)

Ahh its a boy one.

Im still reading and noting all of these!!

Rock the boat can't remember the singers
It's raining men weather girls
Oops I did it again britney
Thriller Micheal Jackson
Do you really want to hurt me? Culture club
Don't you want me baby human league

Short you made me laugh with 'Do you really want to hurt me? Culture club'. Excellent.

My contribution shall be;
What ya waiting for - Gwen Steffani.

How about by Lemon Jelly or by The Real Tuesday Weld. Two whimsical nonsense tunes to make you chuckle.

James blunt? James Blunt??! When you're giving birth!?? Oh dear God, kill me now!

travels. My mum couldn't even put socks on my cold feet without me yelling at her because it was so intensely annoying during labour. I think the annoying factor is increased by the power of 10 with labour, so James Blunt may just send the OP over the edge.

Over the edge indeed. Also, 'blunt' is not a word I would in any way want to associate with any aspect of giving birth!

In the bath - Lemon Jelly?

Let it go ..

I'm forever blowing bubbles

Sea shanties

Sink to the bottom - Fountains of Wayne

How about by Musique?

I had my 6th baby in the water and he slipped out just as Busted sang the part in Year 3000 where not much has changed but they live underwater. Strange coincidence.

Although it doesn't have a nautical theme as many of the other suggestions, I did find myself a bit last week while my DW was in the birthing pool and her ipod was playing "I've Got a Brand New Combine Harvester" by The Wurzels!!!

Waterloo - Abba

yellow submarine

I gave birth to You're Beautiful by James Blunt - they tricked me into it! Had a lovely playlist of Smashing Pumpkins and Deftones for my water birth - then got rushed in for an emergency C-section and that's what the doctors were playing - yuk! :)

I think James Blunt would make me throw things at the stereo
